He stared at the clown who was covered in blood, then the losers' who were laying in puddles of their own blood. It had killed them. All of them. Not a single one of them were left besides him.
They're gone. His friends were gone.. He'd never see them again. He stared down at their dead bodies and felt tears well up in his eyes. "You...." Eddie couldn't even get more than a word out. "Looks like you're all alone now. That's what you've always been afraid of. You don't want to be alone. Who will take care of you now that you're friends are gone? Who will love you, now that you're precious 'loser's are DEAD?" It was taunting Eddie. He already struggled so much in life, now he'd have no one at all. No one to help him, or be their for him, or even to be his friends and talk to him! He'd be completely, and utterly alone.

Suddenly, Eddie woke up sobbing. He pulled his knees up and cried. He hated when he had nightmares, especially ones of Pennywise. He sat there for 2 whole hours just crying. The tears wouldn't stop as he kept imagining multiple scenarios where he'd lose the losers', his partners.

The losers' were the only people who'd ever actually cared for him, the only ones who ever supported him, he knew they always would be. he knew he'd never lose them. but he still feared the days when he would lose them. he feared the day when maybe mike wouldn't come home from the farm, or the day Stanley wouldn't arrive after going for a drive, or the day Beverly wouldn't wake up from her so-called 'beauty sleep', the day bill wouldn't come home from his class at his collage, the day Richie wouldn't ever come back after going for his morning walk, the day Ben wouldn't come back from his weekly trip to the library. he feared the days he'd lose them.

eddie grew to realize his dreams always coordinated to his fears. if he fell asleep thinking of the days he'd have to say goodbye to his partners, he'd have a dream that he'd lost his parents. if he fell asleep thinking about anything he feared, it would be in his dreams. although it took a few months, he got used to it. he got used to falling asleep every night with the fear he'd lose his partners one day, then having a dream about that exact thing happening.

Eddie heard the front door open and immediately got out of his bed then ran out of his room and down the stairs, hoping to see one of his lovers, which it was, and for one, all had arrived at the same time, together. they weren't surprised Eddie came running to the door, he always did, for every one of them, but they we're surprised to see he was crying.

bill and Richie hugged Eddie tightly, Ben rubbed his back, Stanley held one of his hands while Beverly held the other, and mike rubbed his shoulder while speaking assuring words.

"Ed's, what's wrong?" Richie asked.

Eddie stayed silent. he was non-verbal, crying, and needed the support of his 6 partners, not just one or two, all 6 of them.

he'd regressed.

eventually, Eddie was sat in Stanley's lap while he and his partners talked and watched movies. he enjoyed these moments, and he had went from a once sad, fragile and helpless little, to a happy, peppy, and giggly little.

everything was back to normal now. Eddie got the comfort he needed, and his partners got to show him the love he deserved.
